I love discussing England past & present with my guests while we journey to Hampton Court in my Mercedes. We can talk about the Palace itself, or any other aspect of our long history that may interest them, from the Norman Conquest to the Battle of Britain. As well as showing the treasures on view, I like to illustrate further aspects of the history of this ancient place by sharing materials I have prepared via my tablet, staying close to my visitors and talking them through the history personally.
